ROXANA - The 2024 Relay For Life of Riverbend presented by OSF HealthCare will be held on June 8th at the Roxana Community Park. Each year the Relay event features a Luminaria Ceremony dedicated to the honor of cancer survivors and to the memory of those who lost their battles. Luminaria bags honor every life touched by cancer. You can dedicate them to a loved one lost, someone currently battling, or anyone who’s overcome it. When you attend a Relay event, you’ll see the Luminarias bags decorated with names of the people they’re dedicated to.
The Luminaria Ceremony will begin at 9:15 p.m. on June 8th, at which time all activities cease and everything goes silent. Relay participants share an emotional moment when each Luminaria is illuminated in remembrance of a life touched by cancer.
